InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Rox's Livejournal Drabbles ❯ A Sad Day for Kagome ( Chapter 3 )

 

 

 

As InuYasha walked back to camp site, he was arrested by the melancholy mood he sensed Kagome to be in. She sat there, her arms wrapped around her knees, staring at nothing in particular with a sad expression on her face.

 

“Hey Kagome, why the long face?” InuYasha said, coming to sit beside her.

 

“Do you know what day it is today?” Kagome said after a moment.

 

“Um…no,” replied InuYasha uncertainly. “You going to tell me?”

 

With a sigh Kagome shook her head and closed her eyes.

 

“Why don't you go find Shippo?” Kagome said. “I'd really just like to be alone right now.”

 

Taken aback and slightly hurt, InuYasha got up and left. What had gotten into her? As he walked he came upon Shippo, who was busy picking a bouquet of wild flowers.

 

“Keh, what's that for?” InuYasha scoffed.

 

“All girls love flowers,” said Shippo. “I'm picking them for Kagome.”

 

InuYasha stood with his arms crossed, mulling over what the kitsune had said. If that would cheer Kagome up….then he would pick her the biggest bouquet! Shippo looked up in surprise as InuYasha whipped through the field, slicing at flower stems. He even cut small branches of cherry blossoms down. Then as he went back to find Kagome, he had a realization….

 

When InuYasha walked up to Kagome, she did not bother to look up at him. In fact, she looked even sadder than before.

 

“Kagome,” he finally said, “happy birthday.”

 

Turning around and looking at him and the flowers he offered her in surprise, she had tears of gratitude in her eyes as she accepted the bouquet.

 

“You did remember…”

 

InuYasha blushed and nodded, but was pleased to see happiness light up her face like the sun on a cloudy day as she cradled the bouquet.
